This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

You're missing the point. The presence of riots does not magically make Sharpton's quote a call to violence. Unless you're arguing that a call to violence is only really a call to violence if violence follows it, QED.

There have been riots when Sharpton has said nothing. See the Anaheim riots in 2012, under similar circumstances. I can't find a shred of evidence that Sharpton said a word about the subject, yet rioting occured.

Sharptongue's rhetoric is not helpful. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Even Sharptonge.

Sharpton's rhetoric has contributed to the violence. Particularly ironic to me is the fact that if the tables were reversed libs would be all over it.
Kobie, I think some introspection on your part is appropriate. You are simply picking the wrong hilltop to make a stand.
